Someone once claimed that Shakespeare was written by another man also
called Shakespeare while there is too:

Thanks, Jamie!
No, I certainly didn't mean it as unkind...

O and I meant to say, I didn't take your remark as at all unkind, just
funny.

Dammit, Kent, you're right again. (As I said in an email to you I
hadn't meant to go b/c.) I had a few fruitless years (not) doing
post-graduate research there on Hart Crane, with dismal supervision -
Oxford, at least in those days, was certainly not the place to go for
American literature. Nor, pace Robin, where I'd look for a schooling in
good manners - but I studied before that at Nottingham, and there I
actually got something of an education.
Excuse the reminiscences, but you did ask!

You’re right I went to Cambridge but only as a decorator where I
worked on a house for about four ever colder months. Still I’m sure all
that clever varsity wit must have rubbed off on me.

That's nice of you to say, Jamie.
Though of course, you went to Cambridge, so you are probably making fun
of me in a subtle way that is beyond me.

Don't do yourself down, Kent: it's not rattling that counts -
resonating's better.

In that debate video, when I watch Alexander Waugh,
anti-Stratfordian grandson of Evelyn, and see how easily he offers
arcane, rat-a-tat facts in off-the-cuff rebuttal, I am reminded how
little I really know, or ever will know, now, and how modest my
cerebrum is compared to those of many others, especially
intellectuals from Britain trained at Oxbridge. That's meant as both
a funny and serious sentence.
